Description

The flat back case binding of Carmilla is covered in full black goatskin and has red leather inlays. The title is stamped, the lines are tooled, and the text block edges are gilded in 22 carat gold. This binding also features sewn silk headbands, marbled endpapers by Catherine Levine, and a frontispiece portrait by Harry O. Morris. The central design illustrates the exhumed vampire's beating heart and the "leaden coffin floated with blood," both of which are chillingly described at the climax of the story. Bound in January 2015.
